About the vividness of lucid dreams

**catzisconfus** · 07-08-2010 04:04 PM

When I have a normal dream, i see colors yes, and i can hear sounds and stuff, but it's still like i watch this through very bad working eyes, like i just see some colors, not really objects with details. it still makes sense in the dream. now i was wondering if lucid dreams are more vivid, like when you wake up you think wow everything looked so real!

You are the only one who can control how vivid your lucid dreams are

lucid dreams can be more vivid. WILDs are very vivid and feel almost real (at least for my first time it was). I've noticed DILDs can be not very vivid though.

Every LD I've had has been pretty vivid.
I remember my first true LD a couple years back... I stepped outside onto this rooftop and I remember the sun being extremely bright (brightest + most vivid I've ever seen while dreaming) and the sky being so realistic. I was truly amazed when I woke up

Very vivid for me, nothing like normal dreams.

Depends, not all LD are vivd, but most tend to be more vivid than non-lucid ones.

Most of my dreams are not very vivid and some of LDs too, but most of them more vivid than non-LD. Also I had several LDs that were more vivid than RL.

awesome!

It does depend. My first lucid was hazy and 5 seconds long. My second one was ultra vivid and realistic, except the telekinesis.

My best LD so far was the most awsome looking dream i've ever had. There was an insane polarized blue sky with a full moon and a 100% crisp hillside. I think when you are in a non lucid dream you are passive on the details and just go with the flow, but when you become aware and are expecting everything to look awsome, it does!

i can't wait for my first LD goddammit!

it's almost a month that i'm trying

Vividness seems to vary for me. My most vivid LDs have seemed more vivid than waking life at some moments. But I have had others that seemed lacking in either clarity or lucidity and were closer to normal dreams. It seems like my more vivid LDs come from WILDs.

im just wondering, would you be able to do math in a dream?

**Heimrik** · 07-12-2010 04:06 PM

You just have to be calm when you want to have lucid dreams. If you're too excited for them they won't come you have to be relaxed, when you're collected you sleep better and are therefore more likely to have a LD. If you're really good at lucid dreaming you could do virtually everything

I did in a non-lucid dream. I was doing math problems in a math book until I got to a problem where I had to count the branches on the picture of two palm trees and add them together, I kept trying to count it but kept losing track and then I woke up.
